In some embodiments, the inner panel 55 further has a depressing portion 553. The depressing portion 553 is immediately adjacent to the lower edge 502 of the plastic substrate 51, and a portion of the main body 21 (FIG. 1) which is adjacent to the lateral surface 23 is positioned in the depressing portion 553, so as to decrease the width of the lens driving module 2 along a direction that is perpendicular to the optical axis O (FIG. 1).

The outer panel 56 is connected to an outer surface 504 of the inner panel 55 and extends in a direction toward the upper edge 501 from a lower edge 502 of the plastic substrate 51, and distant from the upper edge 501. In some embodiments, the outer panel 56 has a shape corresponds to the shape of notch 17 on the lateral housing member 12. The outer panel 56 is positioned in the notch 17 and seal the notch 17. Therefore, the elements positioned within the housing 10 are not exposed to the outside. In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 2, a depression 561 is formed on the upper edge of the outer panel 56. The functions of upper edge of the depression 561 are described in detail in the description in relate to FIG. 3B.

Referring back to FIG. 3A, the 3-D circuit 521 can be formed on the plastic substrate 51 by insert molding techniques. In some embodiments, the 3-D circuit 521 includes an inner connecting portion 5212, a middle portion 5211 and an outer connecting portion 5213. The inner connecting portion 5212 is located on the plane P1, and the outer connecting portion 5213 is located on the plane P2, wherein the plane P1 and the plane P2 are different and parallel to the optical axis O (FIG. 1). The inner connecting portion 5212 and the outer connecting portion 5213 extend in a direction parallel to the optical axis O for a predetermined length and is connected to each other by the middle portion 5211.

In some embodiments, one end of the inner connecting portion 5212 is exposed in the recess 554 to electrically connected to the positioning sensor 60 which is positioned in the recess 554. In addition, a portion of the outer connecting portion 5213 extends outwardly from the lower edge 502 of the plastic substrate 51 for a predetermined length for facilitating the connection to the external circuit 70. As a result, the electrical signals or power from the external circuit 70 can be transmitted to the positioning sensor 60 via the 3-D circuit 521. The configurations and structural features of the 3-D circuits 522, 523, 524 are similar to that of the 3-D circuit 521 and not repeated again for brevity.

FIG. 3B shows a schematic cross-sectional view of the lens driving module 2 taken along line b-b′ of FIG. 2. Referring to FIG. 3B with reference to FIG. 2. The ground circuit 53 can be formed on the plastic substrate 51 by insert molding techniques. In some embodiments, the ground circuit 53 includes an inner connecting portion 5312, a middle portion 531 land an outer connecting portion 5313. The inner connecting portion 5312 is located on the plane P3, and the outer connecting portion 5313 is located on the plane P4, wherein the plane P3 and the plane P4 are different and parallel to the optical axis O (FIG. 1). The inner connecting portion 5312 and the outer connecting portion 5313 extend in a direction parallel to the optical axis O for a predetermined length and is connected to each other by middle portion 5311.

In some embodiments, one end of the inner connecting portion 5312 is exposed in the depression 561. In addition, a portion of the outer connecting portion 5313 extends outwardly from the lower edge 502 of the plastic substrate 51 for a predetermined length for facilitating the connection to the external ground line G. A conductive element 57 (such as conductive glue) is positioned in the depression 561 and is electrically connected to the lateral housing member 12 and the inner connecting portion 5312. Therefore, the housing 10 is grounded via the conductive element 57 and the ground circuit 53. However, it should be appreciated that the disclosure should not be limited to the embodiments, the housing 10 can be grounded by other method.

For example, in a lens driving module 2 a shown in FIG. 4, the inner panel 55 a of the plastic substrate 51 a is penetrated by a through hole 556 a. One end of the inner connecting portion 5312 of the ground circuit 53 is exposed to the through hole 556 a and is electrically connected the lateral housing member 12 a. The outer connecting portion 5313 of the ground circuit 53 is electrically connected the external ground line G. A conductive element (such as conductive glue, not shown in figure) is optionally positioned in the through hole 556 a for facilitating the electrical connection of the inner connecting portion 5312 to the lateral housing member 12 a. Therefore, the housing 10 a is grounded via the ground circuit 53. In this case, since the connecting point 5314 of the ground circuit 53 and the housing 10 a are located within the lens driving module 2 and are not exposed to the outside of the lens driving module 2, a short circuit of the ground circuit 53 can be avoided, and the stability of the lens driving module 2 is improved.

The depth of the recess 581 b is higher than or equal to the height of the positioning sensor 60. Alternatively, the depth of the recess 581 b is slightly smaller than the height of the positioning sensor 60. The four 3-D circuit 521, 522, 523 and 524 can be formed on the plastic substrate 51 b by insert molding techniques and are electrically connected the positioning sensor 60. In the embodiment, since the positioning sensor 60 is positioned at the corner of the lens driving module 2 b, the size of the lens driving module 2 b can be decreased.

FIG. 6 shows a schematic cross-sectional view of partial elements of a lens driving module 2 c, in accordance with some embodiments. In the embodiments shown in FIG. 6, elements that are similar to those shown in FIGS. 1-3 are provided with the same reference numbers, and the features thereof are not reiterated in the interests of brevity.

In the embodiment, the plastic substrate 51 c and the lateral housing member 12 c of the housing 10 c are formed integrally. For example, the housing 10 c can be connected to the plastic substrate 51 c by embedding process. As a result, the conventional follow-up processes such as bonding or assembling process can be omitted. In addition, the 3-D circuits 521, 522, 523 and 524 (only 3-D circuit 521 is shown in FIG. 6) are positioned at the inner side of the plastic substrate 51 c by insert molding techniques and electrically connected to the positioning sensor 60 positioned on the plastic substrate 51 c. In the embodiment, since the lens driving module 2 c has fewer elements, the efficiency of the assembly process can be improved, and any decline in stability due to misalignment of the plastic substrate 51 c can be prevented.

FIG. 7 shows an exploded view of partial elements of a lens driving module 2 d, in accordance with some embodiments. In the embodiments shown in FIG. 7, elements that are similar to those shown in FIGS. 1-3 are provided with the same reference numbers, and the features thereof are not reiterated in the interests of brevity.

In addition, each of the 3-D circuits 521 d, 522 d, 523 d, 524 d and the ground circuit 53 d includes an upper trace and the lower trace, wherein the upper trace is formed on the plastic substrate 51, and the lower trace is formed on the base 20.

For example, as shown in FIG. 8, the 3-D circuit 521 d includes the upper trace 521 d 1 and the lower trace 521 d 2. The upper trace 521 d 1 includes two vertical sub-segments S1 and S3 and two horizontal sub-segments S2 and S4. The vertical sub-segment S1, the horizontal sub-segment S2, the vertical sub-segment S3 and the horizontal sub-segment S4 are sequentially connected to each other, wherein the vertical sub-segments S1 and S3 and the horizontal sub-segment S2 are formed on the inner surface 50 of the plastic substrate 51. The horizontal sub-segment S4 is formed on the lower edge 502 of the plastic substrate 51.

The lower trace 521 d 2 includes two horizontal sub-segments S5 and S7 and two vertical sub-segments S6 and S8. The horizontal sub-segment S5, the vertical sub-segment S6, the horizontal sub-segment S7, and the vertical sub-segment S8 are sequentially connected to each other and formed on the lateral surface 23 of the base 20.

In assembly, the vertical sub-segment S3 is in contact with the vertical sub-segment S6, and the horizontal sub-segment S4 is in contact with the horizontal sub-segment S7. In addition, the vertical sub-segment S1 is electrically connected to the positioning sensor 60, and the vertical sub-segment S8 is electrically connected to the external circuit 70. Therefore, electrical signals and power from the external circuit 70 can be transmitted to the positioning sensor 60 via the 3-D circuit 521 d. The configurations and structural features of the 3-D circuits 522 d, 523 d, 524 d are similar to that of the 3-D circuit 521 d and not repeated again for brevity.

In the embodiment, the vertical sub-segment S1 electrically connected to the positioning sensor 60 is referred to as the inner connecting portion of the 3-D circuit 521 d, and the vertical sub-segment S8 electrically connected the external circuit 70 is referred to as the outer connecting portion of the 3-D circuit 521 d. The inner connecting portion S1 is located at the plane P5, and the outer connecting portion S8 is located at the plane P6, wherein the plane P5 and the plane P6 are different and parallel to the optical axis O (FIG. 1).

In the embodiment, since there are fewer elements of the lens driving module 2 d, the efficiency of the assembly process can be improved, and any decline in stability due to misalignment of the plastic substrate 51 d can be prevented. In addition, since the 3-D circuit 521 d, 522 d, 523 d, 524 d and the ground circuit 53 d are directly formed on the surface of the plastic substrate 51, the thickness of the plastic substrate 51 is decreased.

FIG. 9 shows a schematic cross-sectional view of partial elements of a lens driving module 2 e, in accordance with some embodiments. In the embodiments shown in FIG. 9, elements that are similar to those shown in FIG. 8 are provided with the same reference numbers, and the features thereof are not reiterated in the interests of brevity.

Differences between the lens driving module 2 e and the lens driving module 2 d includes the plastic substrate 51 e and the lateral housing member 12 e of the housing 10 e being formed integrally. For example, the housing 10 e can be connected to the plastic substrate 51 e by embedding process. As a result, the follow-up processes such as bonding or assembling process can be omitted. In addition, the 3-D circuits 521 d, 522 d, 523 d and 524 d are patterned on the surface of the plastic substrate 51 c by MID techniques and electrically connected to the positioning sensor 60 positioned on the plastic substrate 51 e. In the embodiment, since there are fewer elements in the lens driving module 2 e, the efficiency of the assembly process can be improved, and any decline in stability due to misalignment of the plastic substrate 51 e can be prevented.

Embodiments of the disclosure employ one or more 3-D circuits to transmit electric signals or power for the operation of lens driving module. Since the structural strength of the 3-D circuits are superior to that of the conventional flexible circuit board, the lens driving module can be assembled accurately and efficiently. In addition, with the 3-D circuits which extend in different planes, the lens driving module has smaller size and can be utilized in a compact device.
